"Is he inside?" Trigger asked her while trying to take a look inside the car.
She chuckled before nodding her head. "I guess he's still sleeping. Okay lang ba na gisingin ko muna siya?"
He nodded his head. "Go on. Sorry for asking too much, I'm just excited to see my son," malambing na saad nito na ikinangiti niya lang.
"Stay at the park for a while. Ayoko rin kasing mabigla siya sa pagkikita ninyo." Hinalikan lang siya ng asawa sa noo bago siya senyasan na pumasok sa kotse.
Trigger started walking towards the near park as she slightly opened the door of the backseat before entering. Marahan niyang nilagay ang anak sa bisig niya at inalog ito.
"Alistair? Wake up, si mommy 'to."
Her son yawned before hugging her body. "Mommy? Are we going home already?"
Nakangiti niya itong hinalikan sa pisngi. "Not yet, my love. I promised you something, right? Diba gusto mong ma-meet si daddy mo?"
Agad na nagmulat ng mga mata ang anak niya, parang bigla itong nagising.
"Really mom? Where is he right now? Hinihintay niya po ba ako?" excited na tanong nito.
Marahan siyang tumango. "He's excited to meet you also, baby."
"Mommy, fix me. I want to look handsome for him," malambing nitong pakiusap.
Miracle flashed a sweet smile because of his son's reaction. Inayusan niya saglit ito at sinuklay ang buhok nito bago ito halikan sa pisngi.
"Labas na tayo, anak. Naghihintay sa 'yo si daddy mo." Inalalayan niya ito nang dahan-dahan pababa sa sasakyan.
Tumalungko si Miracle sa harapan ng anak at tinuro ang isang direksyon. "You see that park over there? Your father's waiting for you there so go on, Alistair. Pupuntahan ko kayo agad, okay? I'll just buy you guys some snacks."
Pinanood niya ang anak na mabilis tumakbo papasok sa park na ikinangiti niya.
Nang mawala na ito sa paningin niya ay agad siyang dumiretsyo sa isang grocery para bumili ng inumin at pagkain para sa mag-ama niya.
When she was done, she quickly went to the park to look for his husband and son.
Nang mahagip niya ng mata ang dalawa malapit sa bench ay dahan-dahan siyang naglakad papalapit dito.
"I always got good grades, daddy. Mommy taught me well and I always follow her because I want you to like me," proud na proud na untag ng anak niya habang nagmamalaki pa.
Her husband, on the other side flashed a sweet smile towards their son. Ginulo nito nang bahagya ang buhok ng anak at hinalikan ito sa noo.
His eyes look so much in pain. But love and admiration are also visible in his eyes. He's really happy to see Alistair.
"I'm proud of you son. And sorry for not being there beside you as you grow up. Your mom and I had a little argument. But we're okay now. Daddy will do everything for you, I'll let you experience things that you never had when I wasn't there. I'll do my best to be the best dad for you," malambing na saad ni Trigger.
Naglakad papalapit si Alistair bago yakapin ang ama. "I'm happy to see you in front me, daddy. And I understand our situation. Even if you weren't there to witness my life, I always include you in my prayers. And thank you for making my mom happy again."
Naluluhang lumapit si Miracle sa mag-ama. Napansin naman agad siya ng mga ito na ikinangiti niya.
Trigger stood up before hugging her. "Hello, baby. Where have you been?"
"I bought some snacks for the both of you." Ginulo niya ang buhok ng anak na nakayakap sa baywang niya.
"So, nagkausap na ba kayo? Nagpakabait ka ba habang wala si mommy?" tanong niya sa anak.
Alistair nodded his head. Hinawakan nito ang kamay ni Trigger bago ilapat sa kamay niya.
"Daddy, let's go somewhere. I want to spend this whole day with the both of you," malambing na sabi ng anak.
Natatawang binuhat ni Trigger ang anak nang lumambitin ito sa katawan niya. he kissed Alistair's forehead.
"I'll take you guys home. I'll order some food for us. Is that okay with you, son?"
Magiliw na tumango ang anak nila. "Will that be our new home now, mommy?" he asked while smiling sweetly.
Miracle nodded her head immediately. "Yes, baby. We'll live with your daddy now. I'll just ask your lola and lolo for our clothes and stuff at California."
She giggled when Trigger leaned forward to kiss her cheeks. "Thank you for that good decision, baby. I'll tell the maids to clean the mansion on our way home."
Humalik siya pabalik sa asawa at tinanguan ito.
Trigger accompanied them inside their car. Nang makasakay sa tabi ng lalaki ay agad na binuhat ni Miracle ang anak paupo sa kandungan nito.
"Daddy, is your house as big as my lolo's house?" Alistair asked.
Natatawang pinanggigilan ni Miracle ang pisngi ng anak. "Yes, baby. Mas malaki ang house ng daddy mo kaysa sa bahay natin sa California."
"But our house is already big enough, mommy. It's already a mansion. Does it mean that daddy's house is as big as a castle?" gulat na tanong nito.
Trigger chuckled while driving carefully. "I don't own a castle, baby. But my brother Avenight own one."
"I have another tito?"
"Yes. You have eight more, including your tito Dagger. You met him already, right?"
Tumango naman ang anak nila. "Tito Avenight owns a castle? He must be a King to own one," manghang sabi nito.
"He is, son. He's a King."
Mas lalong namangha ang anak nila. "Are you a Prince, daddy? Are you allowed to enter the castle also?"
Mas lalong lumakas ang tawa ni Trigger sa mga tanong ng anak.
"I'm not a Prince, baby. Our sons own that title. I'm one of the leaders there. And yes, I can enter the castle whenever I want. I'll take you in our castle one of these days so you can meet my brothers."
Alistair nodded his head in excitement before leaning forward to kiss his father's cheek.
Miracle smiled while looking at her husband and son.
This is the life she ever wanted. A family she wished to have for her son.
Complete, and full of happiness.
